Clarity Movement Regional Account Manager Engr. Ethel Garcia explains how they measure air quality using the solar-powered Node-S Air Sensor as they push for better air quality through the “Breathe Metro Manila” coalition, comprised of different environmental and health experts, during a press briefing at the Ateneo De Manila University in Quezon City on Wednesday.

The coalition is advocating for science-based, real-time air quality monitoring and data-driven solutions to reduce health risks linked with pollution as recent studies show air pollution in Metro Manila has worsened from an environmental problem to a serious public health concern.

With Bay Area Air Quality Management District issuing an air quality advisory due to the Washburn fire near Yosemite National Park, the 2022 wildfire season has, unfortunately, officially begun in California. More here: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/air-quality-advisory-issued-for-monday-due-to-washburn-fire-smoke/

During wildfire events, it is more important than ever to monitor air quality in real-time as air pollution levels can increase rapidly. Residents of San Francisco and the Monterey region can access real-time, calibrated air quality data from Brightline Defense and Monterey Bay Air Resources District's networks of Clarity sensors, respectively.

Aside from remaining vigilant to current air quality levels, residents of the Bay Area and other impacted regions can protect their health by:
- Avoiding exposure if the smell of smoke is present
- Staying inside with windows and doors closed if possible as temperatures allow.
- Setting home air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate to keep smokey air out

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued an air quality advisory for Monday due to anticipated impacts from wildfire smoke produced by the Washburn Fire.

The Quezon City Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department (CCESD) has partnered with Clean Air Asia, C40 Cities, and the DENR - Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) to expand Quezon City's Air Quality Monitoring Network with 12 additional Node-S air sensors! In addition to the eight Clarity air quality sensors already around the city, these sensors will be used to gather data and establish an air pollution baseline that will be used to develop programs and policies to improve air quality.

DENR-EMB led the installation of the sensors at the reference-grade Air Quality Monitoring Station of DENR-EMB at a National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) site in Taguig City for collocation and calibration to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data produced by the Nodes.

After a 28-day colocation period, six of these air quality sensors will be deployed in the city to monitor air quality and gather air pollution baseline data, while the remaining six sensors will be placed at Mehan Garden, Manila, Philippines for further evaluation.
